WDC welcomes Angola’s appointment as KP 2014 vice-chair
JOHANNESBURG (miningweekly.com) – World Diamond Council (WDC) president Avi Paz has welcomed the appointment of the government of Angola as vice-chair of the Kimberley Process (KP) for 2014.
"It is a proud moment for the KP that a country which, once afflicted by civil conflict, has now regained political and economic stability and, as a consequence, is in a position to assume a position of leadership in the very institution that helped set it on its way to recovery," he said.
Angola would, in 2015, succeed China as KP chair.
Further, Paz also welcomed the three-year extension of the KP’s ageement with the WDC for the management of the KP’s Administrative Support Mechanism (ASM).
“The decision by the KP to extend the contract with the WDC for the management of the ASM for another three years means that the council will continue to provide logistic, organisational and communications support to the KP chair on an ongoing basis though 2016, via four of its members – the Israel Diamond Institute, the Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council of India, the Antwerp World Diamond Center and the Diamond House of the Government of Ghana.”
